Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing Li Tingzhi's letter, Wu Shaogang could only think like this, he was originally bent on managing Tongchuan Fu Road well, and made detailed and effective arrangements, but the east is not bright and the west is bright, press the gourd and scoop up, there is nothing to do here, just calmed down, and things in other places have come out.

Li Tingzhi led his troops to Huaibei to attack, cooperated with Xia Gui, and recovered many lost territories in Huaibei, and now he is being attacked by the Mongol army, losing and retreating, and is in a dilemma.

It turned out that after Li Pu's rebellion, Kublai Khan dispatched Huaibei's garrison to quell Li Pu's rebellion, and the imperial court sent Xia Gui to cross the Huai River and go to Shandong to meet Li Pu in order to cooperate with Li Pu's subordination, but after Xia Gui crossed the Huai River, he learned that Kublai Khan's Prince Habichi and Youcheng Shi Tianze attacked Jinan in a big way, intending to extinguish Li Pu's rebellion, after several analyses, Xia Gui thought that he was not the opponent of the Mongolian army, and could not continue to go to Jinan to meet Li Pu, so he took advantage of the emptiness of Huaibei to lead the troops to attack, He conquered Xincai, Fuli and Qi counties successively, and took advantage of the victory to capture Bozhou, Tengzhou, Xuzhou, Suzhou and Pizhou.

Soon after Xia Gui occupied and seized these places, Li Pu's rebellion was completely suppressed by the Mongols, Li Pu himself was beheaded, and Wang Wentong and others who were implicated in Li Pu in the Mongol court were also beheaded, and Shandong was completely controlled by the Mongols.

Kublai Khan, who was relieved, ordered the army to attack in the direction of the Huai River, trying to recapture the place captured by Xia Gui.

Huaibei is a place that is coveted for the Southern Song Dynasty, once it occupies Huaibei, the defense line of the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia confrontation will move to the north significantly, Jiankang Mansion, Luzhou Mansion and other important towns, it will be much safer, including the capital Lin'an Mansion, relatively safer, when the Mongol and Song Dynasty jointly destroyed the Jin State, according to the agreement between the two countries, Huaibei should actually be deliberately owned by the Southern Song Dynasty.

The emperor and Jia Rudao were overjoyed by Xia Gui's attack and the results achieved, and when the Mongolian army turned around and began to attack, they quickly ordered Li Tingzhi to reinforce the two Huai systems, and be sure to hold the Huaibei lands.

So Li Tingzhi led some of the sergeants of the Loyal and Brave Army to cross the Huai River and go to reinforce Xia Gui.

It's a pity that in terms of combat effectiveness, whether it is the army led by Xia Gui or the loyal army led by Li Tingzhi, they are not the opponents of the Mongolian army, and the battle has just begun, and Xia Gui and Li Tingzhi are losing and retreating.

It was also at this time that Li Tingzhi wrote an urgent letter to Wu Shaogang, hoping that Wu Shaogang would go to Huaibei to help command the operation.

Huaibei Bozhou and other places, for the two Huai system envoy Li Tingzhi, of course, is very important, if the Huaibei part of the territory can be consolidated, the pressure on Jiankang Mansion and Luzhou Mansion will be greatly reduced, and the garrison of the loyal army will also be moved from the Huainan part to Huaibei.

Of course, Li Tingzhi also asked Wu Shaogang's opinion, if Wu Shaogang had specific difficulties, he could not agree and operate Tongchuan Fu Road with peace of mind.

It's a pity that Wu Shaogang won't do this, Li Tingzhi is in trouble, and his son-in-law must be willing to help without hesitation.

Mansion, wing.

Maps of Huainan and Huaibei are laid on the ground.

Hao Jing, Huang Jiaming, Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui, Du Xiaoqi, Yuan Shichun and others were all silently looking at the map.

Wu Shaogang was pacing in the middle of the wing room with his hands behind his back and a serious face.

Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming and others have just analyzed, the possibility of the imperial army wanting to hold Huaibei Bozhou and other places is not very large, the terrain in Huaibei is flat, there is no barrier that can be used, which is conducive to the attack of the Mongolian cavalry, and the imperial army under Xia Gui, as well as the loyal army under Li Tingzhi, the combat effectiveness is not particularly strong, it is difficult to resist the attack of the Mongolian army.

Hao Jing also made a special analysis that the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan would not give up Huaibei, because the Mongolian army occupied Huaibei, and its front to attack the Southern Song Dynasty was along the Huai River.

Of course, Hao Jing also said that if the imperial army under Xia Gui was brave and good at fighting, Kublai Khan might also be forced to temporarily abandon Huaibei, after all, compared with Abuligo's rebellion, the situation in Huaibei is not so important.

Although the Mongol army was strong and Kublai Khan was brave, the Mongol court could not bear the pressure and risk of fighting on both sides for a long time.

Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming both said it more politely, after all, Li Tingzhi is Wu Shaogang's father-in-law.

Wu Shaogang understood the meaning, that is, the imperial army could not hold Huaibei.

The implication of Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming is that if the Hezhou Imperial Front Army is dispatched on a large scale, Huaibei can be taken, and not only Bozhou and other places, but also the Hezhou Imperial Front Army can also take Cangzhou and Binzhou and other places, making the situation in Huainan safer.

It's a pity that this is not possible.

Under such circumstances, Wu Shaogang went to Huaibei to help defend against the attack of the Mongolian army, is it necessary, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if Wu Shaogang has great ability, it is helpless.

Silence lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Wu Shaogang walked in front of the map and slowly spoke.

"I must go, as for whether I can hold Bozhou and other places in Huaibei, it depends on how the next battle situation develops, the Mongolian army is indeed brave, but the Mongolian army stationed in Huaibei and this time attacking Huaibei, most of them are new annexed troops, as for the Mongolian iron cavalry, they are still on the grassland to suppress Abuligo's rebellion."

Wu Shaogang's decision, as expected by everyone, was after all a request made by Li Tingzhi.

"The Hezhou Imperial Army still has to send a part, otherwise I will go to Huaibei, it will be a waste of labor and money, this time I went to Huaibei to attack, the Hezhou Imperial Army dispatched 10,000 cavalry, Cai Siwei, Du Xiaoqi, Yuan Shichun, Zheng Tongwu and Qin Han followed me to the expedition, Zhang Binghui is responsible for all the matters of the Hezhou Imperial Army, Ma Long assisted."

"Li Siqi is in charge of many livelihood matters on Tongchuan Fu Road, Mr. Hao followed me to Huaibei to conquer, and Mr. Huang is responsible for many matters in Luzhou Mansion."

When he said this, a glimmer of light appeared in Wu Shaogang's eyes.

"Since the Hezhou Imperial Army is dispatched to Huaibei to conquer, then we need to get benefits, I will not do the things that are sticked, I think, this expedition, on the one hand, can train the sergeants, on the other hand, but also completely solve the problem of the shortage of food and grass for the Hezhou Imperial Army."

"Huaibei is rich, and Tongchuan Fu Road is not the same, after arriving there, I will ask for the command of independent operations, the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, but I also want to warn you, military discipline and military rules must not be violated, otherwise no matter who it is, they will be severely punished."

"Whether I can hold Huaibei or win the battle, I am not sure, but I will do my best."

"This expedition, at least three or five months, at most a year and a half, I don't want anything on Tongchuan Fu Road to be delayed, this is our base camp, no matter what results we achieve in Huaibei, we are all going to come back."

"Time is urgent, it is impossible for Li Siqi to come to Luzhou Mansion, Yuan Shichun, send someone to send the letter I wrote to Tongchuan Mansion as soon as possible."

The preparations began immediately, in fact, it was not complicated, and most of the sergeants were the sergeants of the Hezhou Imperial Army stationed in Luzhou, but it took a little time to consume food and grass.

The time given by Wu Shaogang was two days, and he knew very well that he had to rush to Huaibei as soon as possible, if he went late, I am afraid that Xia Gui and Li Tingzhi would have retreated to Huainan.

The letter to Li Tingzhi has been sent, and with the relationship between Li Tingzhi and Jia Yidao, there is no suspense for the emperor and the Privy Council to approve, so Wu Shaogang does not need to wait for the Privy Council's edict, and he can lead the army to set off immediately and gallop to aid Huaibei.

In the next two days, Wu Shaogang was extremely busy, although he left Tongchuan Road and Luzhou Mansion, but local things can not be delayed, Tongchuan Road is his base, must not suffer any twists and turns, must move forward quickly, seize this rare opportunity of stability, and maximize the gathering of manpower, material and financial resources.

Huang Jiaming, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Binghui and many officials of the Luzhou Mansion entered the wing room of the Mansion like a marquee, and Wu Shaogang entrusted them one by one.

On November 15 of the third year of Jingding, Mao Shi.

The 10,000 cavalry of the Hezhou Imperial Front Army led by Wu Shaogang were ready to go.

Huang Jiaming, Lu Xiufu and others went to the military camp outside the city to see them off.

"Mr. Huang, many things in the government, please leave it to you, this more than a month, you have been familiar with many matters of the government, and you have done a very good job, so that I can be completely assured, and then you have to contact and discuss with Li Siqi more, I still say that farming and business matters are the top priority, as long as you grasp these two things, the rest of the things are not a problem."

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will do their best."

"During your wedding, you didn't rest, I originally wanted you to rest for a while, but when you encounter such a situation, there is no way to take me to apologize to my sister-in-law."

"Don't dare, this is what subordinates should do, and they are also supported."

In the face of Lu Xiufu, Wu Shaogang's requirements are much simpler and clearer, Lu County is the location of the Luzhou Mansion, and large and small matters are inextricably linked with the Mansion, and Lu Xiufu needs to do a good job, one is the many matters of the county government, and the other is to report a lot, consult Huang Jiaming's opinion, and obey Huang Jiaming's arrangement.

Zhang Binghui, who temporarily commanded the imperial armies in Hezhou, and Wu Shaogang have been entrusted many times.

It's time to go.

Wu Shaogang clenched his fists at the people who saw them off.

"There are many matters on Tongchuan Fu Road, so please leave it to you." (To be continued.) )
